Solo Battles Issue Explanation and Next Steps

Our teams wanted to give you a full update on what happened earlier this week regarding Solo Battles and the actions taken by the development team to address the issues players encountered to the best of our ability.

On Monday, we had an issue where the Solo Battles event did not expire correctly and left some of our players in a state where their wins and losses were combining with wins and losses from the previous week. After investigating this issue further, our teams put together an action plan to address this issue in stages.

In order to address this issue, our teams needed to do the following:

Solo Battles needed to be taken down for a period of time so that our development team could manually end Solo Battle events that were stuck in a win/loss state from the previous week.

Our teams needed to manually end game events in this state. So any games played by players stuck in the “previous win/loss state” had to have their games wiped. This resulted in those players losing their game progress for those games played; however, they were still able to play all 5 games for the current week of Solo Battles with no problem.

Today (Thursday, March 21st) our teams performed a Madden Server Maintenance from 7AM to 8AM ET in platform stages (PC/PS4/X1) that addressed the leaderboard issues caused by this error.

We appreciate our players engaging with the Solo Battles mode, and we value the time you invest in our game. We will be compensating players that played games who were stuck in the previous week win/loss state. More details on that to come shortly.
